If Darth Maul played golf he’d twirl one of these dual bladed staffs at the driving range to find the dark side of his swing force. Apologies to renowned golf teacher Jim McClean (who has schooled major winners on the LPGA and the PGA) for taking liberties with his image but we couldn't resist. Practicing with the Swing Wizzard helps groove a more consistent, smooth, and on plane swing. Use it long enough and you can say goodbye to first tee jitters as you'll have the steely eyed confidence of a Sith Lord. I've been toying with it for a couple weeks in my living room and this training aid means business promoting solid feel through the impact zone so you don’t release the club too early, and also nipping that common duffer affliction known as chicken swing syndrome in the butt.

When you draw back the Swing Wizzard, the club head on the bottom should be parallel to the ball target line. If it is, that means the club at the top of your back swing is in the square position, exactly where you want it to be. Practice for ten minutes before a range session and you’ll be well on your way to becoming a straighter shooting, crisp ball striking machine.

The bottom line is the immediate visual feedback the wizzard gives your swing confidence while also helping to train your muscle memory. The weight and balance of the club also helps with tempo and rhythm and so when you switch back to a regular club you’ll be primed. You can also practice with it in the confines of your office but it is quite long so be sure to test out the swing radius indoors in super slo-mo first so you won’t break any lamps or fixtures. Our Swing Wizzard video should be up next week.
